Illinois Central College

This workshop has already occurred.

This free one-day workshop is designed to bring together Illinois two-year college (2YC) geoscience faculty to share ideas and learn about evidence-based practices to improve student participation. This is the first of a series of Fall workshops as part of the NSF-sponsored SAGE 2YC Faculty as Change Agents program which has three components:

  • Supporting Student Success
  • Broadening Participation
  • Facilitating Professional Pathways

This workshop addresses components of the first two goals of the program, with emphasis on increasing the number of geoscience students/majors at our institutions. We invite any adjunct or full-time instructor of geology, geography, astronomy, meteorology, and oceanography to join us.

  • Cheryl Emerson Resnick, Illinois Central College, cresnick@icc.edu
  • David Voorhees, Waubonsee Community College, dvoorhees@waubonsee.edu

This workshop is part of the Supporting and Advancing Geoscience in Two-Year Colleges: Faculty as Change Agents project and is supported by the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education through grants DUE 1525593, 1524605, 1524623, and 1524800.
